In an op-ed in The Baltimore Sun, University of Baltimore President Kurt Schmoke discusses his recent trip to Cuba, and outlines an effort to normalize relations between the United States and the island nation.
"What I learned was that, on a people-to-people basis, the citizens of Cuba and the United States desire close ties and normal business relations, but the governments of our two countries remain stuck in Cold War-era political battles," Schmoke writes. "Although both Cuban and American doctors are in West Africa fighting the Ebola crisis, such cooperation remains the exception rather than the rule."
